## Detailed Description

Facet ID class.

The ID class provides facets with an index used to identify them. Every facet class must define a public static member locale::id, or be derived from a facet that provides this member, otherwise the facet cannot be used in a locale. The locale::id ensures that each class type gets a unique identifier.

template<typename Facet>
bool has_facet | ( | const locale & | __loc | ) | throw ()`[friend]`

  | Test for the presence of a facet. has_facet tests the locale argument for the presence of the facet type provided as the template parameter. Facets derived from the facet parameter will also return true. Parameters:
  | Facet | The facet type to test the presence of.
  | locale | The locale to test.
Returns: true if locale contains a facet of type Facet, else false. Definition at line 85 of file locale_facets.tcc.

template<typename Facet>
const Facet& use_facet | ( | const locale & | __loc | ) | `[friend]`

  | Return a facet. use_facet looks for and returns a reference to a facet of type Facet where Facet is the template parameter. If has_facet(locale) is true, there is a suitable facet to return. It throws std::bad_cast if the locale doesn't contain a facet of type Facet. Parameters:
  | Facet | The facet type to access.
  | locale | The locale to use.
  Returns: Reference to facet of type Facet. Exceptions:
  | std::bad_cast | if locale doesn't contain a facet of type Facet.
